I Walk the Line

So there is a lot of talk over the fact that Chris Daughtry is "claiming" that his arrangement of "I Walk the Line" was orginal, when in he fact he did the cover version from the band Live. On the show, the judges all said he was original and his arrangement was great and really played to his style. He didn't correct them, but yes, that arrangement DID play to his style and he sounded great on it. However, he didn't do Johnny Cash's version (as everyone thought) he did the Live version that sounds more like his style. So just because he didn't correct the judges he's somehow taking credit for it being his own arrangment? I don't think so! I guess everyone getting pissed off because Chris is running away with this competition and their precious Kellie Pickler is getting on everyone's nerves with her stupidity. How can people claim that Chris is cheating because he's picking songs that fit his style? He's still within the genre of the week, just finding covers that fit him. And besides, the entire competition is about singing cover songs people! The point is to sing a song that everyone knows but add your own twist to it. I remember last year when Carrie Underwood sang "Piece of My Heart". No one was upset that she chose to sing the country version of it rather than the original Janis Joplin version. Chris is doing the exact same thing. Get over it.
